3-2. Surround Speakers

This setting allows you to decide which speakers to output to when surround back speakers are connected and you are playing back a 5.1-channel source.

Parameter	Setting
	Initial value
a Surround Speakers Surround L/R, Surround Back,	Surround L/R
Surr L/R + Back

Surround L/R: This outputs the sound to the surround left and right speakers as normal and outputs nothing to the surround back speaker.

Surround Back: This outputs the sound to the surround back speakers and outputs nothing to the surround left and right speakers.

Sur L/R+Back: This outputs the sound to both the surround left and right speakers and the surround back speaker.

3-3. Sound Effect

Turn on and off the various sound effects.

		Parameter	Setting
			Initial value
a	RE-EQ	On, Off	Off
b	Upsampling	On, Off	Off
c	Subwoofer	On, Off	On
	(Ana/PCM)
d	Late Night	Off, Low, High	Off

a) Re-EQ

Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment.

This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

b) Upsampling

Upsampling processes the input digital signal, or the digital signal converted from an analog input source, and converts its digital sampling frequency to twice its current frequency for an even further detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.” When “On” is selected, the Unsampling indicator lights.

c) Subwoofer

When “Yes” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, set this to “Off” if you do not want to have sound output from the subwoofer. This setting is only effective when the input source is Analog/PCM. If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.

d) Late Night

Cinema sound has a vast dynamic range; therefore, to hear the quieter sounds such as human conversations, they must be played back at larger volumes. When this parameter is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.

This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.”

When this parameter is set to High or Low, the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low volume.

Notes:

•The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital encoded software.

•The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby Digital software. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.
